Cisco vulnerabilities

The Cisco Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and IOS with Firewall/IPS Feature Set do not properly handle certain full-width and half-width Unicode character encodings, which might allow remote attackers to evade detection of HTTP traffic.

The IOS FTP Server in Cisco IOS 11.3 through 12.4 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (IOS reload) via unspecified vectors involving transferring files (aka bug ID CSCse29244).

The FTP Server in Cisco IOS 11.3 through 12.4 does not properly check user authorization, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, and have other impact including reading startup-config, as demonstrated by a crafted MKD command that involves access to a VTY device and overflows a buffer, aka bug ID CSCek55259.

Unspecified vulnerability in Cisco IOS 12.2SXA, SXB, SXD, and SXF; and the MSFC2, MSFC2a and MSFC3 running in Hybrid Mode on Cisco Catalyst 6000, 6500 and Cisco 7600 series systems; allows remote attackers on a local network segment to cause a denial of service (software reload) via a certain MPLS packet.

The ATOMIC.TCP signature engine in the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) feature for Cisco IOS 12.4XA, 12.3YA, 12.3T, and other trains allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (IPS crash and traffic loss) via unspecified manipulations that are not properly handled by the regular expression feature, as demonstrated using the 3123.0 (Netbus Pro Traffic) signature.

The Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) feature for Cisco IOS 12.4XE to 12.3T allows remote attackers to bypass IPS signatures that use regular expressions via fragmented packets.

Cisco IOS after 12.3(14)T, 12.3(8)YC1, 12.3(8)YG, and 12.4, with voice support and without Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) configured, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending a crafted packet to port 5060/UDP.

The Data-link Switching (DLSw) feature in Cisco IOS 11.0 through 12.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reload) via "an invalid value in a DLSw message... during the capabilities exchange."

Cisco IOS 12.2 through 12.4 before 20060920, as used by Cisco IAD2430, IAD2431, and IAD2432 Integrated Access Devices, the VG224 Analog Phone Gateway, and the MWR 1900 and 1941 Mobile Wireless Edge Routers, is incorrectly identified as supporting DOCSIS, which allows remote attackers to gain read-write access via a hard-coded cable-docsis community string and read or modify arbitrary SNMP variables.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) feature in Cisco IOS 12.1(19) allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long VLAN name in a VTP type 2 summary advertisement.

The VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) feature in Cisco IOS 12.1(19) and CatOS allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a VTP update with a revision value of 0x7FFFFFFF, which is incremented to 0x80000000 and is interpreted as a negative number in a signed context.

The VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) feature in Cisco IOS 12.1(19) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending a VTP version 1 summary frame with a VTP version field value of 2.

Cisco IOS 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2, when GRE IP tunneling is used and the RFC2784 compliance fixes are missing, does not verify the offset field of a GRE packet during decapsulation, which leads to an integer overflow that references data from incorrect memory locations, which allows remote attackers to inject crafted packets into the routing queue, possibly bypassing intended router ACLs.

Internet Key Exchange (IKE) version 1 protocol, as implemented on Cisco IOS, VPN 3000 Concentrators, and PIX firewalls, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion) via a flood of IKE Phase-1 packets that exceed the session expiration rate. NOTE: it has been argued that this is due to a design weakness of the IKE version 1 protocol, in which case other vendors and implementations would also be affected.

The web interface on Cisco IOS 12.3(8)JA and 12.3(8)JA1, as used on the Cisco Wireless Access Point and Wireless Bridge, reconfigures itself when it is changed to use the "Local User List Only (Individual Passwords)" setting, which removes all security and password configurations and allows remote attackers to access the system.

Cisco IOS XR, when configured for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and running on Cisco CRS-1 routers, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Modular Services Cards (MSC) crash or "MPLS packet handling problems") via certain MPLS packets, as identified by Cisco bug IDs (1) CSCsd15970 and (2) CSCsd55531.

Unspecified Cisco Catalyst Switches allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device crash) via an IP packet with the same source and destination IPs and ports, and with the SYN flag set (aka LanD). NOTE: the provenance of this issue is unknown; the details are obtained solely from the BID.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Cisco IOS Web Server for IOS 12.0(2a) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by (1) packets containing HTML that an administrator views via an HTTP interface to the contents of memory buffers, as demonstrated by the URI /level/15/exec/-/buffers/assigned/dump; or (2) sending the router Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) packets with HTML payload that an administrator views via the CDP status pages. NOTE: these vectors were originally reported as being associated with the dump and packet options in /level/15/exec/-/show/buffers.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Internet Key Exchange version 1 (IKEv1) implementation in multiple Cisco products allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reset) via certain malformed IKE packets, as demonstrated by the PROTOS ISAKMP Test Suite for IKEv1. NOTE: due to the lack of details in the Cisco advisory, it is unclear which of CVE-2005-3666, CVE-2005-3667, and/or CVE-2005-3668 this issue applies to.

Cisco IOS 12.0 to 12.4 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a heap-based buffer overflow in system timers. NOTE: this issue does not correspond to a specific vulnerability, rather a general weakness that only increases the feasibility of exploitation of any vulnerabilities that might exist. Such design-level weaknesses normally are not included in CVE, so perhaps this issue should be REJECTed.

Buffer overflow in Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and/or Telnet Sessions for Cisco IOS 12.2ZH and 12.2ZL, 12.3 and 12.3T, and 12.4 and 12.4T allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted user authentication credentials.
